Love the open road? Let’s get things flowing.
If you're an experienced driver who loves the freedom of long-distance routes and the independence of tramping, we’ve got the perfect spot for you. At Victorian Plumbing, our logistics division Sovereign Transport Services (STS) is expanding, and we’re looking for a top-tier HGV Class 1 Tramper to join the team.
Forget boring local loops. This role is all about hitting the UK road network, keeping our supply pipeline moving, and picking up some seriously good extra cash along the way. You'll be backed by a highly supportive team at base who ensure your routes are planned smoothly so you can focus on doing what you do best.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We know how hard our Trampers work, so we make sure the pay reflects it:
- Massive Overtime: Overtime is paid at a premium rate of £18.00 an hour (our Trampers average around 15 hours of overtime a week!).
- Night-Out Allowance: Receive £25.00 per night out (typically out 4 nights a week).
- Clean Card Bonus: An extra £25.00 per week bonus just for keeping a clean tacho card.
- Secure Parking: Free, secure on-site parking at the depot for your own vehicle.
What You’ll Be Doing
Operating nationally from our base, you’ll be the driving force behind our bulk movements, trunks, and general haulage:
- National Trunking: Safely operating HGV Class 1 lorries (primarily curtainside and some flatbed trailers) across major UK routes.
- Securing the Load: Making sure everything is safely loaded, strapped, and secure before you set off.
- Rig Compliance: Conducting sharp pre-journey inspections to ensure your vehicle is 100% roadworthy and safe.
